Battle of the Planets End Credits

Also known as Gatchaman, G-Force or the original Japanese title: Kagaku ninja tai Gatchaman

Battle of the Planets casts five young people as G-Force, consisting of Mark, Jason, Princess, Keyop, and Tiny. The question has been raised whether or not the characters were cyborgs due to their superhuman agility and demonstrations of power such as the Whirlwind Pyramid.

G-Force protects Earth from planet Spectra and other attacks from beyond space. Its main ship is the Phoenix, which can deploy four smaller vehicles, each operated by one team member. A regularly featured plot device was the transformation of the Phoenix into a flaming bird-shaped craft able to handle virtually any exceptional situation by functioning as something like a giant blowtorch called the Fiery Phoenix. The Phoenixs primary weapon was a large supply of rockets. It also occasionally flaunted a powerful solar-powered energy blaster, although the team had the misfortune of choosing very cloudy days to use it.

I'll be uploading the complete series as side project in the weeks to come so stay tuned!

Love this song! Thanks for the post. It's straight out of my childhood. I appreciate hearing it without the announcer. Used to watch it back in 78.

Brought goosebumps to my skin a few weeks ago after not hearing it for years.. ;) I can't believe they replaced this theme in the 1986 re-dub.. ;)

I'm 38, I remember telling my Mom and Dad to hurry back home when I was a kid so that I could come home and turn on the television to watch this show..MAN, today's generation DOES NOT & WILL NOT have any clue on just how great cartoons were back in the day...this one and Saturday morning cartoons were truly special!!!

@rantanamo oh my goodness, the whole theme is epic, as well as the show!!! This theme is so amazing, you couldn't help but to watch the credits. And the animation for the credits fits perfectly. Greatest cartoon ever, (although I like Star Blazers and Transformers too ;- )).

Oh man I so loved G-Force with Mark, Princess, Jason, Tiny, and Kyop and 7 Zark 7 and his robot dog 1 Rover 1. That G-Force theme song I so will never forget that and the cartoon series of Battle of the Planets. Oh Lord God I miss that show and the series had the perfect villian Zoltar and the Great Lumanus One and all the incompatent generals Zoltar had.  G-Force always won the day however they have to make a concluding episode and finally reveal who Zoltar's real identity. Long Live G-Force
